"When leading scholar of Marx, Roman Rosdolsky, first encountered the virtually unknown text of Marx's Grundrisse - his preparatory work for his masterpiece Das Capital - in the 1950s in New York Public Library, he recognized it as ""a work of fundamental importance,"" but declared ""its unusual form"" and ""obscure manner of expression, made it far from suitable for reaching a wide circle of readers.""

David Harvey's Companion to Marx's Grundrisse builds upon his widely acclaimed companions to the first and second volumes of Capital in a way that will reach as wide an audience as possible. Marx's stated ambition for this text - where he was thinking aloud about some of

possible metamorphoses of capitalism - is to reveal ""the exact development of the concept of capital as the fundamental concept of modern economics, just as capital itself is the foundation of bourgeois society."" While respecting Marx's desire to ""bring out all the contradictions of bourgeois production, as well as the boundary where it drives beyond itself,"" David Harvey also pithily illustrates the relevance of Marx's text to understanding the troubled state of contemporary capitalism."

Reviews for A Companion to Marx's Grundrisse

David Harvey provoked a revolution in his field and has inspired a generation of radical intellectuals. -- Wolfgang Streeck, Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies Harvey is a scholarly radical; his writing is free of journalistic cliches, full of facts and carefully thought-through ideas. -- Richard Tuck, Harvard University Few people have penetrated the heartland of contemporary cultural theory and critique as explosively or insightfully as David Harvey. * Financial Times * One of the most perceptive and intelligent thinkers the progressive movement has. * Wall Street Journal * A consistent and intelligent voice on the left. * Times Higher Education * Praise for A Companion to Marx's Capital: Without a doubt one of the two best companions to Marx's Capital. -- Ha-Joon Chang, author of <i>23 Things They Don't Tell You About Capitalism</i> No short review can do justice to this outstanding book. Essential. -- Robert Pollin, Political Economy Research Institute, University of Massachusetts-Amherst Praise for The Limits to Capital: A magisterial work. -- Dean Baker, Center for Economic and Policy Research Monumental. -- Makoto Itoh, Professor Emeritus, University of Tokyo A unique and insightful theory of capital. * Financial Times * Praise for The Enigma of Capital: Elegant, entertainingly swashbuckling. Harvey's analysis is interesting not only for the breadth of his scholarship but his recognition of the system's strengths. -- Alex Callinicos, Professor of European Studies, King's College London The narrative delineates with admirable clarity the arcane details of the current financial crisis, while rehearsing the rise of capitalism as a historically specific 'process' plagued by fundamental dilemmas. -- Gary A. Dymski, Professor of Economics, University of California, Riverside
